Kini’s Friday Kisses
Fool Me Forever by Ainslie PatonContemporary RomanceSeptember 24, 2018 Paton has pubbed two books earlier this year that I really enjoyed, including the first book in this series One Night Wife. I really enjoyed ONW but Fool Me Forever didn’t work well for me. It felt slow and I never fully connected with the characters. The hero, Halsey, is the younger brother of the hero in the previous book. Halsey is everything I like in a hero including awkward and a someone straddling the line of right Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts
Happy Thursday everyone. Since Monday, I have been counting down the days till Friday and the weekend. In my town, it’s the annual Art & Wine festival.

Sheena’s Wistful/Wanton Wednesday!
After seeing a flutter of activity online surrounding Devney Perry's Timid , I had to check it out. Primarily piqued by the blurb's promise of second chances, redemption, and mutual healing, I one-clicked and found that not only was it a sweet story, it was spicy in a raw and unvarnished way that I found appealing. Willa Doon has always been shy. Her quiet demeanor was something she’s always embraced. That is, until Jackson Page moves to town. The one man she desperately wants to take Continue Reading
Six Smexy Reasons to Read Block Shot by Kennedy Ryan
Block Shot by Kennedy Ryan Series: Hoops, #2 Released September 10, 2018 Self Published Review by Sheena: Be braced. I read a book I think is vitally important and I love it and I can’t even think about how to collect myself. I'm really trying to pull it together because you need coherency and all I can think of is the precise angle to just start shoving Block Shot into reader's hands and eyeballing (with intensely raised brows) until they finish it! Annnnd that is probably not the Continue Reading

Angela’s Monday Mornings
What I read this week: Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren Contemporary Romance September 4, 2018 by Gallery Books Favorite Quote: "But at the end of the day," she says, and puts her hand outside the open window, letting the wind pass through her fingers, "being myself is enough. I'm enough." The friends to lovers trope is one of my absolute favorites. I love that moment when best friends realize that their relationship has deepened into something more and they Continue Reading
